I really want to hate on this woman for pretending to not just be rich as gently caress, but she also produces basset hound swag sooo

I'm loving Flo Lum on YouTube. Her channel is Instant Pot focused, and she herself is this wonderfully relaxed Asian lady who's clearly having fun making these videos with her husband. Her motto is "be simple, ordinary, and joyful", and it really informs everything on her channel (even the non-food content, which is very Christian).

Oh I used her recipe for instant pot ribs the other day, with some slight modifications (I used a dry rub), and they turned out great. https://youtu.be/ITx1dIIMMxI

Anyone been watching The Chef Show on Netflix with Jon Favreau and Roy Choi? Definitely my favorite food show on at the moment. Love the way this show is put together.

This is the Bon Apetit staff sitting around and talking about pizza for an hour. Wish my job was like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a7Q7vvuA9I

Seems kind of unfair that Carla and Molly got to go to loving Italy to find the perfect cheese for their pizza while the other teams got to go to, like, Brooklyn

Seems like BA videos are getting longer, well YT videos in general seem to be getting long, does this appeal to most people? I've been skipping most BA videos because of length. I watched the sauce and cheese videos and lost interest in their pizza series. For me it's like bowling, fun to do in real life with friends but boring to watch. Like Claire recreate Doritos was mildly interesting but in the end she made Doritos which are literally in every store in America. Guess I'm not the target audience. It's just that I'm interested enough to watch 8-10 minute videos but not enough to watch 30-60 minute videos.

I like both the long and short videos, they and Jon Bois content are the perfect ASMR for me.

One of these days I’m going to make the mojo pork in that cubano from the first episode. I bet it’d be awesome crisped up in a taco.

They don't expect anyone to make those doritos recipes, it's just for entertainment. I do watch all the videos from the Carla lady and there's another one doing Indian style recipes that are pretty easy to make.

I'm actually loving the longer BA videos and since pizza's like my favorite food on the planet, I was enamored with every episode of that series. I personally find Priya rather boring, and the whole "calls her parents in like every video" shtick is kind of annoying. Bon Appetit tier list: 1) Chris Morocco (he can be a little dry but I think he's got the most thoughtful and sound approach toward food and cooking) 2) Brad 2a) Claire 4) Gaby 5) Amiel (he's fuckin hilarious) 6) Carla 7) Andy 8) Molly 9) Priya

I loved the recent thing where Chris had to identify the different components of the beef wellington blindfolded and then recreated it almost perfectly.

Chris seems to be the most methodical recipe guy and Brad is a human golden retriever but I don't think the recipes they present look all that appetizing. Meanwhile I feel I could smash 5 bowls of anything Priya or Carla makes.

I caught a few episodes of Parts Unknown over the years but never watched a full season. I'm starting to watch it all on netflix now and man is it some great and powerful stuff.

Delayney's recent video with Brad where they try everything at a restaurant was pretty good, too. e: and in Claire's last video, Claire, who went to Harvard, has to have "righty-tighty, lefty-loosey" explained to her by Brad. Grem fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Jun 15, 2019 |

Cafe du Monde beignets are one of my favourite things, so I’m glad they went back for a second go with those.

This show is bloody great. Just appeared up top of my recommended's and started playing, before I knew it I was hooked. Choi is so funny and off-hand about his decisions, just like I try things out at home. 'Man, I don't know why, just eyeballed it."

Watching people eat expensive food makes me really angry for some reason.

I've been plowing through The Final Table on Netflix recently. It's very much reality TV insofar as you can absolutely tell a lot of the banter between duos is scripted or faked, but the chefs themselves are awesome and insanely talented (one of the teams is just straight up Mark Best and Shane Osborn) and it's overall incredibly wholesome and enjoyable.

Chef Bourgeoisie posted:I don't see Rick on this list He's fine, but doesn't reach the minimum plate appearances threshold to be on the list. I know Gaby only has few solo videos as well, but she's been in a ton of them in the background and is a well-known BA personality.

Ok Claire making Starbursts made me feel legitimately bad for her. I wouldn't be surprised if she quits again soon, she sounded absolutely miserable.

She's not a BA employee and just does contract stuff.

Honestly I'm getting tired of the gourmet makes, because they basically devolve into her getting frustrated and going "gently caress it, this is what you get" without coming to a fully realized product at the end. Why bother with the series if you're not gonna go full boat?

I feel like it might be a good idea for them to switch to famous cookies or something for a while. Like Milanos or Oreos or Nilla Wafers, that seems way easier than industrial candies
